Chikudenya Toubee (1990)

A menu-driven adventure game featuring the eponymous ronin-for-hire taking on his most perilous mission yet. Chikudenya Toubei (alternately Toubee, Tobe) is an adventure game originally released on the MSX2 in 1989 and ported to the PC Engine the following year. The player uses a menu of commands to move, pick up items, talk to NPCs and other necessary steps. Referred to as a "digital comic", the game has a number of cutscenes that play out during the more dramatic parts of the game. The game also includes puzzles, including a sequence where the player recreates the face of a victim from memory using a number of facial features like scars and eyebrows.
